IT IS New Year's Eve partying on a scale that only the rich and famous can afford.

A slew of celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx, flew in to Australia on Friday - reportedly as part of their plan to welcome in 2013 in Sydney before driving to Canberra airport to return to Las Vegas for a second tilt at New Year revelry.

Insiders say The Great Gatsby star DiCaprio arrived on a private Boeing 747 jet with Ronson, Lindsay Lohan's ex-girlfriend, and 15 other people. The duo were greeted and whisked away.

The celebrities will see in the New Year in Sydney before driving to Canberra airport where they plan to fly out on the same jet, avoiding Sydney airport curfews, to Las Vegas - 17 hours behind Sydney.

Oscar-winner Foxx, who is co-starring with DiCaprio in the yet-to-be-released film Django Unchained by Quentin Tarantino, flew in with his wife and daughter and pushed his own luggage through the airport in very un-star like fashion.
